How can I find out what program or running service is constantly accessing my hard drive. This happens when there is nothing running for example when I have just started my machine. The only items in the task bar are for volume, directCD, MS sidewinder, touch pad and Norton AV. I have been through MS Config but I do not know what each program is for, so am loath to shut things down.
